    Our superstar fought like hell to get up 3 whole shots in the 2nd half. Please let me hear all explanations on why he only shot 3 shots. Make it clever to with bandwagon fan talk and all that good stuff.

    T-Mac is actually the only player in the NBA who is capable of that.

    Sorry, but McGrady brought this team back from 11 down in the 2nd quarter to 2 up in the 3rd. He wasn't the issue. It was missed free throws all game and some horrible substitutions (I'm looking at you Novak) that cost us this game. Hell, the team didn't even look for McGrady in the 4th :mad:

    Utah wasn't getting called for blocking and reaching like they were the first three quarters, so they took advantage. Meanwhile, only battier could hit from ANYWHERE on the court (this includes layups).

    HE PLAYED BETTER IN THE 2ND QUARTHER THAN HE HAS ALL YEAR AND THE REST OF THE TEAM FOLLOWED HIS LEAD. IN THE 2ND HALF HE QUIT LIKE USUAL AND THE TEAM FOLLOWED HIS LEAD ONCE AGAIN.

    Scola can't make free throws, Jackson can't hit a shot, the team gets outrebounded; the Rox have no three point shooter or inside presence and all you do is bash TMac. Getting rid of TMac is not the answer because we won't be able to get good value for him. This team needs a point guarad and it needs Yao to stay healthy or it is a pretender for a title, getting rid or TMac will not change that.

    He just can't get the ball. He is defended hard.

    Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Right?

    I wonder if the Cavs boards are as stupid as this when Lebron puts in only 9 pts in a game. OMG TRADE LEBRON. OMG HE SUCKS SO BAD.

    There is no excuse for him taking only 3 shots. Period.

    did you see that defense ?

    first line of defense, AK47, one of the best in the game.

    utah would not give us anything in the paint in the 4th.

    i think if we want t-mac to really go off, we can't have him as the main facilitator. its time to set HIM up for some easy baskets. this is last year all over again. we STILL depend on t-mac to set everyone up. we STILL are not a very athletic team. we STILL do not have the talent to matchup with the jazz.

    shane is the only guy who could knock down an open shot tonight to stretch the defense.

    we simply cannot have bobby jackson going 3 - 15. depend alot on outside shooting, but we just are not talented enough to knock those shots down consistently. utah just needs to pack the paint, rebound, and take care of the ball on their end and there is no way we can beat them in this series unless we suddenly become a great shooting team (which we won't because we don't have that kind of talent, and because you die by jumpers anyway)

    Do you really believe that he quit? Really?

    He may not have had a stellar performance, but I doubt he freakin quit. Would that then suggest that you are making an excuse for his less than great performance?
